Windows Failed to Start
Ok, so I tried uninstalling my dualbooted Ubuntu system. It messed up my entire computer. I get this when I start my computer. "windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc 2. Choose language settings. 3. Click repair If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. File: \boot\BCD Status: 0xc0000098 Info: the boot configuration data file does not contain a valid OS entry" My Dell computer that I bought did not come with a windows installation disc. I do not have the money to throw out the window on a $120 disc. Can anyone help me?

See my two wikies A Clean Install of Windows 7 and Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows Downloads.
Have a read through them and make sure you understand everything. Use another computer to download all you need, finally ensure you have the 25 product key on the COA as instructed (it might be under the battery).

You, sir, are a hero. You earned my gratitude.
